1970 Plymouth Barracuda Cuda

The Plymouth Barracuda is a two-door pony car that was manufactured by Plymouth from 1964 to 1974.

The first-generation Barracuda was based on the Chrysler A-body and was offered from 1964 to 1966. A two-door hardtop (no B-pillar) fastback design, it shared a great majority of parts and bodywork with the Plymouth Valiant, except for the huge and distinctive wraparound rear glass.

The second-generation Barracuda, though still Valiant-based, was heavily redesigned. Built from 1967 to 1969, it was available as a two-door in fastback, notchback, and convertible versions.

The third generation, offered from 1970 to 1974, was based on the Chrysler E-body, exclusive to it and the slightly larger Dodge Challenger. A completely new design, the two-door Barracuda was available in hardtop and convertible body styles.

The redesign for the 1970 Barracuda removed all its previous commonality with the Valiant. The original fastback design was deleted from the line and the Barracuda now consisted of coupe and convertible models. The all-new model, styled by John E. Herlitz, was built on a shorter, wider version of Chrysler's existing B platform, called the E-body. Though sharing its platform with the newly launched Dodge Challenger, no exterior sheet-metal interchanged between the sibling cars. The Challenger, at 110 inches (2.79 m), had a wheelbase that was 2 inches (5.1 cm) longer, and a body 5 inches (12.7 cm) longer than the Barracuda's.

The E-body Barracuda was now "able to shake the stigma of 'economy car'." Three versions were offered for 1970 and 1971: the base Barracuda (BH), the luxury oriented Gran Coupe (BP), and the sport model 'Cuda (BS).

Beginning mid-year 1970, and ending with the 1971 model, there also was the Barracuda Coupe (A93), a low-end model with the 198 cu in (3.2 L) Slant Six as a base engine, lower-grade interior, and (like other Coupe series Chrysler offered that year) had fixed quarter glass instead of roll-down rear passenger windows. The high-performance models were marketed as 'Cuda deriving from the 1969 option. The E-body's engine bay was larger than that of the previous A-body, facilitating the release of Chrysler's 426 cu in (7.0 L) Hemi for the regular retail market.

NestAway, once valued at over $225 million, sells for $11 million

PropTech firm Aurum is acquiring NestAway, a once high-flying Indian startup operating in the same space, for up to $10.9 million, in a deal that marks a near complete erosion in value for the startup's investors. Eight-year-old NestAway raised $115 million over the years and was valued at $227 million in a funding round in 2019. The startup counts Sequoia Capital India, Tiger Global, Goldman Sachs, Yuri Milner and Chiratae Ventures among its investors. Aurum, which earlier acquired a unit of NestAway for about $6.8 million, said it will invest $3.6 million to stabilize NestAway's business. "This capital infusion in NestAway is a testament to Aurum PropTech’s conviction in India’s $20-billion Rental Housing market," Aurum said in a stock exchange filing. NestAway's revenue shrank to $3 million in 2022, down from $9.5 million two years earlier. The erosion in NestAway's value can at least be partially attributed to Covid. The home rental platform NestAway featu...

Experience a day living like a cyborg

Humans can live in a "half-human half-machine" style thanks to the development and popularity of AI, but still have bizarre experiences from time to time. Thomas Macaulay expects the AI to turn him into a cyborg. Photo: The Next Web AI is present in every aspect of life. To be able to feel the changes that artificial intelligence brings, Thomas Macaulay, writer of The Next Web, spent a year applying AI to everything in his life. "I imagined a scenario where I would gradually become a cyborg," Macaulay said. Thomas Macaulay spent a year letting AI penetrate every aspect of his life and turn him into a cyborg. Photo: The Next Web Here is a description of Macaulay's cyborg day: The first stop on his automation journey was the kitchen. Simply because everyone is hungry.

1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442

The Oldsmobile 4-4-2 (also known as the 442) is a muscle car that was produced by Oldsmobile. Introduced in 1964 model year as an option package for US-sold F-85 and Cutlass models, it became a model in its own right from 1968 to 1971, then reverted to an option through the mid-1970s. The name was revived in the 1980s on the rear-wheel drive Cutlass Supreme and early 1990s as an option package for the new front-wheel drive Cutlass Calais. The "4-4-2" name (pronounced "Four-four-two") derives from the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. It was originally written "4-4-2" (with badging showing hyphens between the numerals),[1] and remained hyphenated throughout Oldsmobile's use of the designation. Beginning in 1965, the 4-4-2s standard transmission was a 3 speed manual along with optional 2 speed automatic or 4 speed manual, but were still badged as "4-4-2"s. By 1968 badging was shortened...

Cá trê 'dẫn lối' tới mộ cổ 2.000 tuổi, càng vào bên trong càng bất ngờ

Trong mộ cổ, các nhà khảo cổ tìm thấy nhiều món đồ gốm. (Ảnh: Kknews). Sự việc xảy ra vào năm 2013, trong lúc nạo vét con kênh tại làng Đại Cừ thuộc thị trấn An Định, Bắc Kinh, Trung Quốc, dân làng nơi đây đã gặp tình huống bất ngờ. Mọi chuyện bắt nguồn từ việc kênh của làng bị khô cạn do phù sa chặn. Trưởng làng huy động người dân cùng tới khơi thông. Mọi người còn mang cả máy xúc tới để việc khơi thông nhanh hơn. Đột nhiên, khi đang nạo vét ở giữa kênh, máy xúc bị va phải vật gì đó. Do va đập mạnh, con kênh xuất hiện một chiếc hố lớn có đường kính tới 2m. Nhiều người tò mò ngó xuống xem chỉ thấy vài bức tường bằng gạch bên dưới. Ai đó bỗng hét lớn: “Hình như có thứ gì động đậy bên dưới”. Máy móc liền được cho dừng hoạt động. Hóa ra, bên dưới hố trôi ra chục con cá trê còn sống. Mọi người cảm thấy rất kinh ngạc, không hiểu chúng sống trong mộ cổ bao lâu rồi. Có người tò mò muốn bắt những con cá trê nên trèo xuống xem xét. Nào ngờ, không chỉ bắt được cá, họ còn tìm thấy một vài bức tượ...

Vài suy nghĩ về hàng Nhật bãi

Mình muốn nói rõ từ đầu là bài viết nhắm đến các loại hàng Nhật cũ, hàng xài rồi, hàng second-hand đang được rao bán đầy rẫy trên mạng. Mình không nói đến các sản phẩm đồ Nhật mới được mua xách tay hay ship về. Thực ra ở VN ta nhu cầu sử dụng các mặt hàng điện tử cũ của Nhật đã có thâm niên hàng vài chục năm rồi, chỉ có điều những năm gần đây cùng với sự phát triển của mạng xã hội thì việc rao bán tủ lạnh, nồi cơm, máy lạnh cũ của Nhật trở nên hết sức tràn lan, đến mức có thể nói "lên mạng là thấy có người bán đồ cũ Nhật" Trước tiên, về tính dễ sử dụng, chắc chắn các món hàng này khó sử dụng với đại đa số người Việt, vì menu bằng tiếng Nhật, hiển thị bằng tiếng Nhật, và phải dùng điện 100v hoặc 110v. Tất nhiên nếu đã chấp nhận dùng thì sẽ có cách hết, hoặc là người bán sẽ cho bạn tờ dịch các nút này thành tiếng Việt, hoặc bạn tự dùng Google dịch, nhưng rõ ràng để dùng chuyên sâu các chức năng thì phải cần một vốn ngôn ngữ nhất định Về xuất xứ, các món đồ cũ này được ...
